Dome Glacier is in Snoqualmie National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington and is on the north slopes of Dome Peak. Dome Glacier flows generally west for a distance of approximately .80 mi (1.29 km), maintaining a generally shallow gradient between 8,600 to 7,600 ft (2,600 to 2,300 m) at which point it descends in a large icefall to approximately 6,900 ft (2,100 m). An arĂȘte separates the glacier from Dana Glacier to the northwest and Chickamin Glacier to the east.
